Mashup Score: 19Exploring changes in key epidemiological parameters from different perspectives | LSHTM - 1 month(s) ago
This talk will focus on two studies based on data from mainland China and Hong Kong during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first study investigated how taking into account sampling bias, the interval between individuals becoming infected and transmitting COVID-19 changed over time using data from mainland China. The second study examined the differences in COVID-19 superspreading potential and generation interval in different transmission event settings based on Hong Kong’s detailed contact tracing data and outbreak investigation.

Mashup Score: 12The use of modelling to inform decision-making in an emergency: lessons from COVID-19 | LSHTM - 2 month(s) ago
Hear from a panel of individuals who were heavily involved in generating or using epidemiological modelling and analysis during the UK COVID-19 outbreak to determine what went well, what went badly, and how could we improve things for next time.

Mashup Score: 13From diagnostic testing to discovery science, modelling and policy: the UCLH-Crick Legacy study | LSHTM - 5 month(s) ago
The COVID pandemic was the first global pandemic vaccination programme, and presented an opportunity to understand how immunity evolves after both infection and vaccination, and how this subsequently impacts viral evolution. The speaker will present how we have used data from the UCLH-Crick Legacy study to better understand how immunity evolves, and the modelling approach taken with Adam Kucharski’s team at LSHTM to investigate more effective vaccination boosting strategies.
